With a degree in architecture from the Universidade de São
Paulo, Stela Morato's proximity to photography comes from four
generations of Italian-Brazilian filmmakers. Her passion for
gastronomy was born in her Tuscan grandparents' kitchen and fed by
constant trips to open markets in search of the perfect
ingredients.

Specialised in studio photography and cinema lighting, Stela has
worked with large and medium scale productions, leading her to
fund her own studio in 1985. The installations were built with
cooking facilities in mind.

When she is not taking photos, she coordinates production of
food for advertising films and writes about gastronomy and travel
for a range of magazines. Kids and animals are a favourite subject
of her work.
